Abstract:
The entry and transmission of notes to recipients along the conversation chain. Notes can be created based on an incoming caller. The notes can be transmitted to the conversation recipient for viewing before, during, and after the recipient accepts the conversation. This is facilitated by a communications client that operates to allow entry of the notes, and forwarding of the call recipient via a SIP framework. Moreover, notes previously taken and/or information provided manually and/or automatically by the communications system can be provided to an agent (e.g., ACD, receptionist) receiving the conversation, at any point in the conversation chain for quick identification not only of the conversation source but of previous information already collected.
Abstract:
A technique for interconnecting users of different instant messaging services without requiring the users to change their account identifiers. A first user of a primary messaging service can communicate with a second user of a second, federated messaging service, where the first user is associated with a non-managed domain of the primary messaging service. When the first user sends a message to the second user, the primary messaging service decorates or modifies the first user's identifier as the sender so that the message, when received, appears to have come from a managed domain of the primary messaging service rather than from the non-managed domain. When a message from the second user is sent to the first user, the first user's identifier is undecorated in a reverse operation.
Abstract:
Information about a set of users of a social networking system is obtained to develop a predictive model of income distribution for all users of the social networking system. This predictive model is based on selected attributes about the users (e.g., declared/profile information, user historical information, and/or social information). Users of the social networking system are mapped to a specific income bracket based on statistical correlations derived from the predictive model. Advertisements are targeted to users based on income bracket. The system may use a machine learning algorithm to analyze conversion rates of targeted advertising to retrain the predictive model.
